Hm this is quite unusual. Normally you don't have desktop shortcuts to web service pages. This would make more sense in the future for a jellyfin-desktop player/app.

Idea itself is good, but cannot be implemented as simple as this, as URL to access the Jellyfin server is configurable. So there's need to have a middle program that would read Jellyfin config, compose the URL and then launch a web browser.

I thought we weren't going to launch the web page upon start-up anymore?

This is not about launching a page on startup, it's more like browser bookmark for jellyfin instance being put to the desktop.

@JustAMan Yes, you right... Also localhost:8096 it's default URL. if user change port, need fix that on desktop file. I think it's not problem with sed ))

If a user is experienced enough to work with sed they should have no problem creating a bookmark in their browser or a shortcut to said bookmark themselves :)

That said, small little program that would read up the URL from Jellyfin settings at launch is still possible :)

This should probably be in the form of jellyfin --launch-browser so we don't have to do any external parsing of stuff.
